THE SONG OF THE MYSTIC.

In the hush of the valley of silence
dream all the songs that sing;
And the music floats down the dim valley,
Till each finds word for wing,
That to hearts, like the dove of the deuge.
A message of peace they bring
But far on the deep there are biilowS
That never shall break on the beach:
And l have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech :!
And nave had dreams in the valley
Too lofty for language to speak.
And have seen thoughts in the valley
All me ! how my spirit was stirred !
And they wear holy wells on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely he heard;
They pass through the valley like virgins,
Too pure for the touch of a word.
DO you ask me the place of the valley,
Ee hearts that are narrowed by care ?
II eth atar between mountains,
And God and His angels are there;
Ore is the dark mountain of sorrow,
And the one bright mountain of prayer.
FATHER RYAS'

Several days had elapsed and Nellie
saw nothing of Guy, and wondered
what was the cause of his absence.
She had never realized that she lov-
ed him until the evening that John
Elliott proposed to her, and his coarse
allusion to Guy had awakened the true
nature of her heart. In her estima
ton, he was as far above Elliott as the
stars are above the earth, and was, IN
in her eyes, the embodiment of all that
was gentle, noble and brave At times
she almost imagined him gallant
knight of the chiyalrous days Of old,
and enthusiastically compared him to
such renowned characters as Godfrey,
Of Bouillon, Tancred, Richard Cpnr
de Lion and Bernaards del Carpio.
Oh! how happy are the young
hearts when they dream for the fitst
time the sweet dream of love when
their young souls first awaken to the
delicious consciousness of that divine
feeling. 1t is indeed holy thing
when the virgin heart of a young mai
den experiences that deep Affection
We can say, in the beautiful language
of Lord Lytton-"Oh. those burning
moments in love, when romance has
just mellowed into passion, and with
out losing anything of its luxurious
vagueness, mingIes the enthusiasm of
its dreams with the ardent desires of
reality and earth ~
While Nellie sat thinking over the
pleasant discovery she had recently
made, the door opened, and Belle Gra-
hame appeared.
"Why, Belle" said Nellie, "what
have you been doing with yourself
since the picnic? | have not seen YOU
for IN age
"Nell,' replied Belle, blushing, 81

are engaged, and We are going to be

Mr.. Carroll come to terms vet -
Nellie blushed crimson at this allu-
sion to Guy.
"What makes you ask that question.
Mr.. Carroll is not in love with me"
answered Nellie.
thine will tell, replied Belle, "but
pardon if I say that | think You enter
tain for each other Il stronger feeling
than friendship
'oh cal it by some better name,
For friendship sounds too cold =
she gayly quoted.
"Come, Belle" said Nellie, 'let's 90
and have Il game Of croquet."
And arm in arm the two young
girls descended the stairs, and went
ont ON the lawn.

The morning after Belle had inform
ed Nellie of her engagement to Harry
Livingstone, Guy Carroll took the
Doctors boat and rowed leisurelv to-
wards .Lover's Island" As he neared
that place, he thought Of his first Wis
it there, and of the beautiful girl who
accompanied him in the boat, and how
she had pinned IA blue ribbon on his
rowing shirt, when be had won the

Welsh Wisdom.

Three things of short continuance
a lady's love, Il chip fire and brook
flood.
Three miseries of a mans house-a
smoky chimney, dripping roof and IA
scolding wife.
Three things that ought never to be
from home-the cat, the chimney and
the housewife.
Three essentials to false story tel
ler-a good memory, bold face and
fools for an audience.
Three things that are as good as the
best-brown bread in famine, we'll wa
ter in thirst, and gray coat in cold.
Three things that are seen in a pea
cock-the garb of an angel, the walk
of thief, and the voice of the devil.
Three warnings from the grave
"Thou knowest what was; thou see
st what | am, remember what thou art
to be-
Three things that never become rus
ty-the money of the benevolent, the
shoes of the butchers horse, and wO-
mans tongue.
Three things not easily done-to al
lay thirst with fire, to dry wet with
water. and to please all in everything
that is done
Three things as good as their better
dirty water to extinguish the fire,
an ugly wife to a blind man, and a
wooden sword to coward.
Inordinate demands should be met
with bold denials.
Mona should so act as to take ad-
vantage of another's folly.
We are sure to get the better of for
tune if we do but grapple with her.
Cleverness is a sort of genius for in
strumentality. 1t is the brain OF the
hand.
The vulnerable part of ones charac
ter is much more speedily discovered
by our interiors than by our equals. p
Real friendship is slow grower, and
never thrives unless engrafted upon a
stock of known and reciprocal merit.
Misfortune is never mournful to the
soul that accepts it, for such do always
see that every cloud is IN angels face.
Every single action of our life car
ries in it's train either a reward or
punishment, however little disposed
to admit that such is the case.
The man who is suspicious lives In
constant state of unhappiness. 1t
would be better for his peace OF mind
to be too trustful than too guarded.
"Ah my dear said gallant lover
to his sweetheart, 'you always remind
me of lock and key !Why so -
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1887-06-24

Nellie, for after you have married me
YOU would begin to love me. Remem-
Der that | will not take no for an an
swer, but will persevere until | sue
ceed."
"No is my final answer" replied
Nellie, at is useless for you to press
your suit further, for | can neper be
vour WIFE
"Then You must be in love with
that puppy Carroll" said Elliott an
grily, 'but let him bear in mind that
| am dangerous man to thwart, and
if can not win you, he never shall"
"Mr. Carroll is what you are moi"
said Nellie Indignantly, gentleman,
and wish You. would not speak of him
in that way in my presence. As far as
my being in love with him is concern
ed, the subject has never been broach-
ed between us, but if it had, it would
have been my affair only. Good eve
ming, sir; will you be kind enough to
leave me to my own reflections, which
are far more preferable than your COM
pany."
Elliott left her, foaming with rage,
and his self-conceit greatly lowered !;
as he stalked away he muttered words
that boded no good to Carroll.
The next day he called on Guy, and
asked for his congratulations, inform
ing him that he was Miss Nelson's ac-
cepted lover.
at is certainly source of congrat-
ulation to you, replied Guy, "but l
hardly think it is one to her.
Elliott was indeed willy william,
and there was nothing he would not
do to mislead Guy, and to further his
own selfish purpose.

AN UNWISE IDEA.

Some people do not seem to realize
when they have got a good thing
until it is lost. 1t is SO in politics as
other things. 1t is somewhat remark
able though that any intelligent think
ing man could for one moment desire
the repeal of the present system of
county government and a return to
the old order of things under the
spoils regime in vogue during the dark
days Of Republicanism. The Elizabeth
City Falcon commenting on this sub
ject INDUCES the following timely re-
marks. 1t says;
We were surprised to hear a demo-
crat express himself in favor of a re-
turn to the late system of county gov
eminent. We fear his memory is get
ting poor. Surely he forgets the out
RACES committed under that system by
designing men. The only safety for
the negro counties lies in the presel t
system, and we have heard numbers
OF republicans say they would oppose
change. We have no doubt that
tor every democrat who would abolish
the present system there are two re-
pubiicans. who would oppose it. The
change would be very disastrous to
the east. Property would depreclate
rapidly, no foreign capital would seek
Investment, immigration would cease
and emigration begin. The admins
tration Of affairs is now in the hands
of intelligent taxpayers. For heaven
sake, let no democrat have the wool
pulled over his eyes. The democratic
party is not infallible, but one of the
wisest and best things ever done by it
was the Inauguration of the present sys-
tenn. The Charlotte Democrat saws
" Hundreds of magistrates appointed
by the last legislature failed to qualify,
and the Governor had to appoint
Others in their places. That shows
that the people generally don't care |
much tor county government; it is
only demagogues who pirate about
electing magistrates, county commits
sloReFs, &c, by the people

silently and surely doing their mis-
sionary work.
From the man who counts his ducats
by the millions to the poor laborlns
man. all are united and working
shoulder to shoulder, Every business
man knows by liberal patronage Of
the press he is amply repaid In his
business, besides enabling the paper to
enlarge its usefulness which in proper
ton increases his trade and that of Il 6
community.
The lesson taught US by this is plain.
If our people will wake up and pat
tern after California, We can more than
double our population within the next
decade, for we have a much superior
climate, and other natural advantages
in our favor. | think it but
justice to say of the press of Florida
that it has made and is making a he
roic fight, from the Times Union
down to the smallest country paper,
but how many of them are almost
starved to death in the midst of those
they are working to serve-whose for
unes they are helping to make-where
it would require but small sacrifice
if each and every business man would
do his duty not only in sustaining his
home paper by liberal patronage
and prompt payment of his bills, but
by his encouragement and kind words
in its behalf, to place 1t in position to
greatly enlarge its field of usefulness,
and to double and treble the values of
their PROPERTY, to increase the volume
of their business, and to bring pyos-
perity out of adversely.
This policy of the many being will
ing to profit by the labors Of the few,
without giving a fair and honest
return therefor, is not the right sort Of
spirit to build up and bring prosperity
to community; but united, deter
mined effort, a long pull, strong
pull, and a pull all together will do it.

MEN OFwORTH TO a TOWN.

Under this heading the Charlotte
Daily Hornet has the following. 1t
says; "The ONLY men who are Of
worth'to town or community, says an
exchange, are those who can forget
their own selfish ends long enough,
and who are liberal enough in their
ideas to encourage every public and
private enterprise-who are ready
with brain and purse to forward every
project calculated to build up the town
and enhance its importance. A town
might as we'll prepare for its funeral
as to become indifferent to the indus
tries and enterprises in its midst.
Men who come to town TO make it
their future home, who can't see far
enough before them to see that money
placed judiciously in a public enter
prise of their own will bear a hundred
fold in the appreciation of their own
property are to be pitied. They are
not the men who put their shoulder to
the wheel and help build up a town.
They belong to class who are ever
ready to take all they can of some one
else's building and enterprise, but are
not willing to do anything themselves.
1t is the town that has the most enter
prising citizens in it that grows most
rapidly"
